Ranking #91 on TJStats newest T100 prospects, Josiah Ragsdale is on a rocket-ship. Solid thump at a 105 MPH 90th EV, paired with legitimate feel for Pull-Air and a patient approach and elite speed. He’s posted a 1.022 OPS on the year with 19 HRs. What a crazy get for 2 rentals. pic.twitter.com/1sVH8rZcby
